UK parliamentary committee publishes Boris Johnson's 'partygate' evidence

A British parliamentary committee on Tuesday published evidence submitted by former Prime Minister Boris Johnson defending himself in an inquiry into whether he intentionally misled lawmakers about illegal parties held during COVID-19 lockdowns.

Parliament's Committee of Privileges, which has been looking into statements Johnson made to parliament in December 2021, said last week the former leader would also provide oral evidence to the committee in a televised session on March 22.
